American Gunner - by Eddy Clark (Paperback)

Imaginatively rendered and a gripping debut, a young man’s dance with the
criminal underworld lands him in international hot water and left vying for his
life in this crime thriller mash-up of American Gangster and The Bourne
Identity.
Raphael Waters grew up accustomed to being in a constant state of survival. When he
becomes the muscle for known street figure, Rah, he believes his life has taken a turn
for the better. That is until a string of unfortunate circumstances leave Rah missing and
Raphael grasping for answers in the streets of the concrete jungle—once again. A
chance encounter with the intriguing Alex Gatts promises to be the life-changing
turnaround he needs.
Alex Gatts is the perfect mixture of beauty and brawn. She rules the nightlife of South
Bend with every click of her sky-high stilettos. When she hires Raphael as her
bodyguard, an unexpected friendship develops, sparking a lucrative business
proposition that could give Alex the edge she desires.
Raphael lets his guard down and breaks his cardinal rule: Never trust a woman.
Together they embark on a series of real estate deals that solidifies their standing
amongst the country’s elite and most powerful syndicate. When an international
business deal of a lifetime goes awry, Raphael is left holding the bag in enemy
territory.
